Mac Computer Upgrades

iPad Compatible Wireless Printers

For iPad people on the go or around the house - especially business users - the ability to print from Apple's tablet may be needed. It wasn't until recent upgrades to the iOS operating system that direct iPhone and iPad printing wirelessly was made officially possible via Apple's AirPrint technology. As with Apple's Bonjour printing protocol - AirPrint's auto-discovery simply announces a printer's availability and presence on the network to your iOS device. Recently, iOS5 delivered additional improvements to Air-Print support.

Epson AirPrint Compatible Printers

About a half dozen select models of Epson inkjet printers are AirPrint compatible. For Mac and iPad - iOS printing here's three recommended models:

HP - Hewlett-Packard jumped onboard first with support for Apple's AirPrint wireless printing.

Direct wireless printing from an iPad, iPhone, or recent iPod Touch is a rather new development, not all IOS Apps know how to print - or need to. HP provides a list of _some_ AirPrint capable apps for iOS5 you may want to check out.

Other Manufacturers Supporting AirPrint

Broader iPad compatible printing support from other major printer manufacturers is likely, although it seems Apple and Hewlett-Packard may have worked out an exclusive arrangement for initial AirPrint integration. In the meantime, a few commercial apps and hacks exist to make getting printouts from your Apple handheld iOS device easier:

Brother Printer AirPrint Support

Brother offers several MultiFunction AOI-MFP inkjet models with direct, built in iPad printing. The MFC-J5910DW, MFC-J835DW, MFC-J825DW, MFC-J625DW, MFC-J435W, MFC-J430W, MFC-J425W, and MFC-J280W currently have AirPrint support. At this time none of their laser printers offer this.

iOS AirPrint Printing For Canon Printers

If you want to print photos from your iPad to a Canon wireless printer, a Canon application called Easy Photo-Print for iPhone is available. Unfortuantely, the app will only print photos, not text dcuments or web pages - its strictly for pictures.

iPad Printing On Epson Printers

If you use most models of an Epson printer, you can print from your iPad using the Epson iPrint application. Initially released for the iPod, iPrint can now be used with an iPad over a WiFi connection. Epson users can download iPrint at no cost from the Apple App Store.

Lexmark Wireless Printer iPad Solutions

Lexmark printer users can use a iPad print app named "Air Sharing HD". The app costs $10 and is just Mac OSX. Air Sharing HD does not access files straight from your iPad. Rather, the app communicates with an email account to print your documents. You can email an iPad document to yourself and then open it in Air Sharing HD to print. Lexmark users can also purchase a $3 direct printing app called ePrint. Again, this one is for Mac users only.

Additional AirPrint Supported Programs

eCamm's Printopia App
eCamm has a neat solution for any functional Mac printer setup: If your Mac can print to it, Printopia will share it whether your printer is directrly connected or plugged into your AirPort or Time Capsule. Printopia acts as a 'Bridge' and translates for your printer, allowing it to serve print requests from your iPhone or iPad even -- if it's not an AirPrint-compatible printer. Printopia even supports many password-protected printers. There are also iPad printing applications is PrintCentral, by EuroSmartz or Print Magic by Wellala for $7 USD. This app will print from any printer, including a PC over a wireless connection. PrintCentral costs USD $10 dollars at the App Store and allows you to print web pages, text, graphics, images, and contacts.
